Afternoon all, hope you are well. Had a nail-biting day watching the Olympic Men's Road Race - poor Cav, it's such a shame he missed out. Seems as if "the rest of the World" were letting our boys do all the work. And as for Fabian Cancellara's dramatic crash, I confess to a tear. He is such a superb rider, a great sportsman and a really nice guy - hugely disappointed for him that his Games are over so soon because of injury.
Now, a few among you will know that I am not a Domestic Goddess - and here is the proof. We thought we'd have a stirfry tonight for dinner and I got the ingredients when we shopped on Wednesday but Toad (and this is a rare event) remembered today that we hadn't bought a sauce. We both thought that we must have one tucked away in a cupboard, and we did, we found two - Best Before End 2006 and 2007 respectively!! I really should clean that cupboard out more often, lol.
Anyhoo, I am here with my entry for this week's SWEET STAMPING CHALLENGE which is Christmas In July. I've made four Christmas cards in the past couple of days so while I was in the mood .....
And yes, that is a cat hair on the right side of the card. Little devil, if there was a Gold Medal for fur shedding he would have a stack of them by now.
Not much to tell you about the card really - image is LOTV My Little Tree, painted in Distress Inks (ReInkers) on Bristol Board, the matting layer is from scraps box and I did the sentiment on the computer.

That latest LOTV release was one absolutely fabulous image after another, wasn't it? It's definitely going to be a big Lili Christmas at my house. LOL Lovely colors on this one.... one day I may try DI painting again. They are so soft compared to the alcohol markers. Of course, I will probably bin the first 20 attempts as they won't measure up to yours. =)
ReplyDeleteAs to the cat hair... I'll put my black and tan Lissa, yellow lab Zoe and striped tabby Spencer up against Vince any day. Since they're all colors, no matter what I wear, it's got a hair or 20 showing... and I've killed more Hoovers and Dirt Devils than I can count. But the love that comes packaged in those hairy little creatures is worth every lint-remover roll and stuffed up Hoover tube. =) Have a great weekend! Mwah! ~Christy
Aww that image really is cute :o) Love how you've coloured him too (as always!). Thanks for joining in at Sweet Stampin' hun! Hugs, Lisa x
ReplyDeletePS. hope you're not really planning to smack me... bit scared lol!
Haha I know the cat hair feeling :D My cats like to sit in the room while I'm crafting, and one is a rescue cat that lives outside - she loves being inside but she's very jumpy and likes to be near her escape route - which means the only place she settles is on my craft desk cos it's by the window :P so yeah I need to de-fur my desk fairly regularly :P
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous card, that image is adorable and I love the bright colours :)

ReplyDeleteDarling card! I love the simplicity which gives so much focus to the image. Also makes it look like the snow. Fun colors in his hat too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful CAS card :o)
ReplyDeleteI had to go to work before the road race finished and was devastated for Cav and the team when customers kept telling me about the finish :o(
I have no doubt they will, in the words of the old song, 'pick themselves up, dust themselves down and start all over again'

I went to make a cake last week, found SR flour 2009, thought I'd better not use it! Also goes to show how much I cook!

I had 'those' bottles in my pantry too - use by dates have a lot to answer for.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card. I love this clean and simple look. Thanks so much for joining in at Sweet Stampin this week.
Gorgeous card hun, love the image and the colouring is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI felt so sorry for Cav, poor lad, he tried so hard.
I am definitely no domestic goddess hun, the only time my cupboards get cleaned out is when Den does them! And as for pet hairs, you want to try having a dog!

What a amazing card ;o)
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Sweet Stampin' this week!
PS I realy have to try this to ;o)
Dude. Cat hair is an excellent embellishment. Cat is is always an excellent fashion accessory. As soon as we make cars that run on cat hair, we'll be ga-zillionaires. Just remember that.
